I bought this product to replace an aging Russound system that is no longer supported. We have a large home with 8 zones with built in Polk ceiling speakers. The Russound system was put in during our build in 2007/2008 and technology has vastly changed. I burned over 300 CDs on the media server and system used keypads to access content. It was connected through my wired network so I was able to buy a few Apple Airport Expresses and place strategically throughout the house and program an input on the keypad for Airplay in order to listen to music, YouTube, Podcasts, etc. from my iPhone/iPad. Then Apple quit making the Airport devices which eventually over time quit working.Here is where Holo-Whas comes in. I was able to remove my existing Russound components that I have mounted on a rack in my network closet. The Holo-Whas is also rack-mountable. I plugged it into my network switch so it is hard wired like the Russound system. I removed the keypads from all 8 rooms and planned to patch the old holes. The speaker wires were easy to install into the Holo-Whas unit. I purchased this unit back in July 2024. I initially could not get the Holo-Whas app to work correctly before finding out that the app was replaced with Holo-Home. I could not get it to work correctly at first such as assigning Zones, renaming Zones, setting up inputs, etc. I contacted customer service by email and got a response back within an hour. They sent me a new firmware update with instructions. It was easy to install and now it works perfectly. I also now can use 8 input source as opposed to the original 4 when I bought it which was an added bonus.The 60 watts per channel are enough to drive my high end Polk speakers. I don’t blast music any longer so I can’t speak for everyone. I can stream YouTube, YouTube TV audio, Apple Music, Podcasts, etc. without any issues. I bought a USB to RCA line in adapter to hook up an old CD player which also works well. My wife doesn’t want to give up listening to her Christmas CDs.This a very good solution for home audio and made my old system replaceable for not a whole lot of money. I did look a JukeBox but there were complaints about their system being underpowered. Holo-Whas worked great for my needs and customer service was excellent. I would highly recommend this product.
